Cygnus is full of fun stuff to shoot. I had no idea how large the area surrounding the central star of Cygnus (Sadr or γ Cyg) was. The large are around Sadr is identified as the Sadr Region or the Butterfly Nebula, IC1318. This was shot at 300mm. At some point I am going to have to zoom in the Crescent Nebula, NGC6888 (far right center), for a closer shot of that. I would also like to figure out how to bring the reds out more. What fun.
